Craig Nevius is suing Ryan O’Neal, Alana Stewart-Hamilton and Farrah’s business manager Richard Francis, accusing them of squeezing him out of the documentary Farrah’s Story and wresting control of her estate.

In response, the estate – that Francis oversees – has launched legal action against Nevius, claiming his work was second rate and that he leaked confidential information about Farrah to the media.

Before Jackson made her explosive comments to RadarOnline.com – in which she accused O’Neal and Hamilton-Stewart of forcing Farrah to sign a document against her will, handing over control of the documentary – the 61-year-old actress went on national television and labeled the film-maker “Craig Devious”.

But in an apparent and monumental turn of events, she now suggests she was “embarrassed” after others fed her mistruths about Nevius.

“Farrah loved Kate and she loved Jaclyn Smith. She played me their messages and showed me their notes all the time. Jaclyn would send flowers, Kate would bring by books. They could make her laugh. And she loved teasing them both.

“Of the Angels, Farrah was really the mischievous one.”

“I always told Farrah that I thought it was remarkable that the three of them remained friends after just one season of Charlie’s Angels over 30 years ago. But Farrah didn’t find it so strange, because she said it wasn’t so much the show itself that she remembered but the two girls.
